Review: ‘A Space Odyssey’ is not so much an “odyssey” more a light, asset flipping trip around the main planets in our solar system. There is no educational content here, no narration, no information at all, only some clickable planets that you can “travel” to. You don’t get a sense of size, distance and I am pretty sure most of the planet models are flat and not in 3D at all because you can’t rotate them or manipulate them in any way. £2.89 isn’t a lot of money, but there are far better apps out there like Titans of Space that do so much more and offer real educational value to people.
